[flexcoders] Re: Please, help: the release player displays a blank page in all browsers.
I have spent the last two days working on this issue. I have narrowed it down that the SystemManager isn't able to register the application. It runs the preloader fine in both the release player and the debug, although when it tries to pass this: document = app = topLevelWindow = IUIComponent(create()); it only works in the debug player, not the release version. There are no errors shown. I figured this out by implementing a custom preloader to bring up a gif image to act as an Alert.show() replacement since Alert.show() is not supported in the preload area. I still can't resolve the issue though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
